By Brian Webber: Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis’ coach Calvin Ford says he’s noticed how Ryan Garcia’s body has changed recently from how it used to look to how his appearance is now.
Ford hints that Ryan may have been using PEDs to bulk up. He asked the media to go back and look at how Ryan’s appearance was in the past and compare it to how he’s looking now.
Tank Davis suspects that Ryan has been using performance-enhancing drugs, and he states that he wants him to stop with the “juicing.”
Ford says that when he heard that Ryan chose not to take a tune-up fight in January, he had a lot of thoughts that came to mind.
Ultimately, Ford believes that the 23-year-old Ryan (23-0, 19 KOs) didn’t want to risk it, and he feels he “saved himself” by not taking the tune-up.
“I got so many thoughts that I don’t know how to feel about that,” said Tank Davis’ trainer Calvin Ford to Fighthype when asked about his thoughts on Ryan Garcia choosing not to take a tune-up fight to get him ready for their April 15th clash.
“That’s his team. I think Ryan really wanted to take the fight, but again, he didn’t want to take the chance. They didn’t want to take the chance [of something happening]. Again, Ryan probably saved himself by doing that.
“There are a lot of variables behind them looking at it. I see different pictures of Ryan, and he’s looking fit, and then I go back and look at other pictures. I’m like, ‘Okay. Alright, I see what I got to deal with,‘ but I’m not worrying about him right now. I got to deal with Hector.
“I said that I went back and looked at old pictures [of Ryan Garcia], and I’m looking at him now, and he’s looking [buffed up]. You got to pay attention to that.
“Remember, I said there’s a lot of variables with that [Ryan choosing NOT to take a tune-up fight in January]. I’m not going to put them out there like that. I don’t do that unless I’m sure.
“We know when guys are saucing, we know it. We have guys we spar with. We know it. Go back and look at how he looked before certain fights and how he’s looking now and you do the math,” said Ford about Ryan Garcia’s body transformation.
